Last year, Godzilla fans were treated to a nice albeit, painfully brief Godzilla teaser trailer at Comic-Con 2012. A Godzilla reboot is currently already in production over in Canada. With the massive 1998 shit-stain that is known as the American Godzilla under our belts, I'm wary knowing that the western hemisphere wants another go at getting the ancient behemoth under reins but what I've seen of the movie so far seems promising.
For starters, Gareth Edwards, who is largely unknown but did work on 2010's Monsters, is in the director seat and according to him the movie will be a direct reboot of the original 1954 classic of the same name. Besides that, any information on the script or setting is being kept under lock and key.
Also very promising information is the cast, the lead actor being none other than...
Bryan fuckin' Cranston. You all know him as, Walt from Breaking Bad. If you watched that show, then you already know that he's the man. Combine that with the fact that the movie is being handled by Legendary Pictures and you can forget any fear that this will be anything short of a blockbuster.
Another thing to get the fan-base excited, Edwards assures us all that there will certainly be some monster battles. Godzilla is going to kick some Ghidorah ass (nothing has actually been confirmed as far as the rival monster, but there's no harm in crossing my fingers). Edwards has also dropped hints that the military will be just as feeble as ever, so no worrying that we'll have a '98 repeat where Godzilla is stopped by some petty, mortal missiles.
Some other things that Edwards has hinted is that the movie will be just as philosophical as the '54 version, which served as a warning of the destructive power of nuclear weaponry. So that should be a nice intellectual touch.
I'm pretty damn excited. With the release date set at 2014, it looks like we'll have a lot to look forward to.
